Brian Falduto first gained fame playing Fancy Pants in the Jack Black cult classic film School of Rock. The intense focus on the effeminate mannerisms he displayed as an adolescent would have a major impact on his coming to terms with his sexuality as a teen and young adult. “Mine is a story of what happens when society attaches a label on something they don’t understand to avoid their own discomfort,” he reflects today. Now, he makes country music reflecting on his true life experiences.
In his 2023 album, ‘Gay Country’, Falduto introduced his summer hit “One More” to the masses. On 5.31.24 he will be releasing a collaboration with admired EDM artist Real Hypha where they take that whirlwind love song with an island groove and turn up the heat. “One More (Real Hypha Remix)” keeps the rich instrumentals we love from the original while adding an exotic, danceable beat. While the original brings that “chill by the pool” aura, the remix brings an energetic “finally friday” atmosphere. You’ll want to get up and dance the night away. You can pre-save this single here!
Real Hypha is a born Texan bringing EDM for rural folk into the mainstream. Real Hypha has collaborated with artists such as Little Texas, Joe Diffie, Providence, and more to create these hot country remixes. However, you’ll likely know him from his “Man I Feel Like A Woman” remix (that you can listen to here) from the notorious Shania Twain which boasts over 9 million streams.
